SCRATCH REMOVED!!! Good Product!
I hate all the fake products that claim to remove scratches!!!!
The other day some stuff got kicked up by a truck and after I washed the car I noticed it scratched my car! I had a couple light scratches on my motorcycle also so I decided it would be worth some effort to try and fix things. I did some research and found Meguiar's Medium Cut and Fine Cut products. I thought i would give it a shot. Note: these products are in the auto body repair section, not the wash and wax section. I used my cheap orbital buffer and took about 15 minutes on the bike, and 10 minutes on the car. They both came out looking great! I don't have pics of the car but here are after pics of the bike.
Here is the best picture I have ever gotten of the scratches. Very hard to see but if you got the light just right, you could see them.
Here is the bike after!

Nice job!
for something so small meguiars#80 would've suffice. You don't want to take off more clear coat than you have to. Start off small for example meguiars #9 swirl remover, if that doesn't work, try #80 then fine cut cleaner, and so on.
looks great!
products like these remove scratches instead of hide them (cough zaino)

However, Meg's polishes, in my experience do not. Of course, there are others, like you, that say that they do. I'm not saying I'm right. I'm just saying that it is kind of unfair to make such a blanket statement. By the way, I don't work for Meg's either.

Of course you should do the wipedown. I have no problem with your advice. I just know that many people make blanket statements about "Meguair's" products having fillers and imply that Meg's products are not as good as others for that reason. Implying that Meg's products don't really remove swirls. I just don't want people here to make erroneous judgments about the effectiveness of the products. Some people may think other products are easier to use, but Meg's polishes work very well if you use them properly.
